Abstract
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis (FHC) syndrome has been described as perihepatitis associated
with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) that results in the inflammation of liver capsule and
diaphragm. In many cases, FHC syndrome is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria
gonorrhea. In the acute phase, FHC syndrome is associated with right upper quadrant pain and the
liver capsule becomes involved with inflammatory exudates that later forms violin string between
liver capsule and adjacent diaphragm or peritoneum. A definitive diagnosis of FHC syndrome is to
detect of a violin string-like adhesion or to identify causative organisms such as Chlamydia
trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea, which requires laparoscopy or laparotomy. However, it is
possible to diagnosis FHC syndrome which demonstrates a linear enhancement around the liver
capsule with high resolution computerized tomography (CT). We experienced two cases of FHC
syndrome diagnosed with non-invasive method and treated successfully by oral administration of
antibiotics.
